Quiet restful place

Great place to stay. Quiet! The desk manager had closed for the night and so we had to ring and she was more than happy to quickly check us in, get everything sorted and was exceeding friendly and accommodating. No complaints! Price was also excellent.

Nice, clean accommodation. Carparking directly in front of or beside the room for direct vehicle access. On site laundry. 2 really good restaurants within a 1 minute walk. Only a few minutes walking into the main part of the township.

Smashing little Motel

Very friendly family run motel. Absolutely spotless. Well equipped and so quiet. Amazing shower. Lots of small restaurants near by and private parking less. A little gem in the middle of nowhere.

Great stay!

We loved our 2 night family stay here. Better than we expected from a 'motel'; the rooms were modern, clean, and roomy. Close to restaurants. We'd stay here again and recommend!

This place is a gem. Clean, spacious, warm and comfortable. Close to the glaciers and trails, surrounded by restaurants and cafes. Also has window screens! That’s the first time we’ve seen this in three weeks of travel throughout NZ. Highly recommend this place.
